#BeyondFest XIII is coming to a close. And with it: 13 years of unforgettable cinema, surprises, inspiration, friendship, and solidarity. I’m so very proud to be such a small part of this circus. Here’s to 1300 more years of watching movies with LA’s finest weirdos, until the world stops turning…

Monday night with the Zombies and a room full of psychos. Last night’s anniversary screening of THE DEVIL’S REJECTS for #BeyondFest was a riot.

Still trying to process the profundity of last night’s surprise screening from @realgdt.bsky.social & Co. for #BeyondFest. FRANKENSTEIN is a wondrous thing to behold, full of horror, hope, whimsy, and despair. A magnificent triumph of collaborative art & humanist integrity. I was blown away.

#DustBunny from @bryanfuller.bsky.social & Co. is a remarkably exciting story for adults-of-all-ages in the Amblin tradition — equal measures of charming, thrilling, and hilarious. Run, don’t walk, to your local theater to see it on December 12.

Still reeling from yesterday’s Q&As with the legendary William Petersen for the #BeyondFest screenings of TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. and MANHUNTER.

The best advice he ever got from Billy Friedkin: “You have to be brave. You have to try harder than you think you should.”

2. Seeing them driven before you
3. Hearing the lamentations of their women

After 13 years of #BeyondFest, I’ve never seen a movie elicit as many laughs alongside as many tears as #ButtholeSurfers: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT. This is truly a remarkable piece of documentary filmmaking, and a spirited love letter to a legendary cadre of timeless creators.

The Butthole Surfers just blew the fucking roof off the Egyptian for the #BeyondFest premiere of BUTTHOLE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT from Tom Stern & Co. An incredibly moving documentary, and a legendary night if ever there was one.
